One wants you to have accessible health-care. The other wants to put you in a concentration camp. Obviously they are equally bad.

Like all fascist movements, eventually they run out of "undesirables" to attack and they turn inward. It's just happening during Trump's fascist movement because he's an incompetent piece of shit and can't even do authoritarianism right.

And if you look at Europe's giving as a percentage of military spending, it's significantly more than the U.S. has provided. And as a percentage of GDP European countries have been *far* more generous than the U.S. Trump can't go even 30 seconds without showing us how much of a bitch he is.

Musk sees those 22 lives lost each day as just a little more money he can put in his pocket through tax cuts. Because he's a fucking psychopath.

I notice Elon has been plumping himself up nicely for us, so we got that.

The entire legal system has been rendered moot over the last three weeks. That's my point. We can argue about the legality or illegality of actions forever, but while we're doing that, fascists are essentially ending our Democracy and pillaging our treasure.

Serious question: does it matter if DOGE is illegal? The law is only legitimate when we believe in it and enforce it. Without enforcement by good faith actors, the law may as well not exist and the social contract is broken.

Yea, and I tried it in both a Private Window and a Private Tab with no luck. It may be because I block almost all javascript and all cookies. Websites get grumpy about that sometimes.

Thank you!

I'm disabled and on a fixed income. I'd pay for Wired if I had the money for it, but I can barely eat some months.

Nope, Wired has figured out how to kill the article in Reader mode. At least in Firefox. (and I'm not going back to Chrome - fuck Google)

The revolution will be paywalled. Jesus H. Wired. Information like this is too important to put behind a wallet.

Now Elon has ousted the guy in charge of America's checkbook.

It might be useful to get every MoC on the record about their satisfaction with the fuckups of the richest man in the world.

Of course they were all important. What I meant was "I hope there wasn't a Trump appointee on that helicopter that QAnon will turn into some conspiracy theory."

Holy shit, the Blackhawk obviously didn't have its transponder on, so the passenger plane got no notification from its early warning systems. Somebody fucked up. Hope there wasn't someone important on that helicopter.

The Democratic Party has abrogated its responsibility as an opposition party and is letting Trump slow walk us into fascism. Other than a few Dems with a spine, the silence has been very telling as Trump slowly dismantles our Democratic systems.

Chuck, your party is sleep-walking us into fascism. Step down and let a younger generation take the reins before we lose what's left our our Democracy.

Could also be the load in his diaper is throwing his center of gravity off.
